Abstract
Background and Aim: Low Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems that causes many symptoms, including kinesiophobia and weakness in postural control. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of barre au sol exercises and core stability training at home on kinesiophobia and postural control of women with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Materials and Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study that was performed in two phases of pre-test and post-test. In this study, 36 women suffering from non-specific chronic back pain were randomly divided into three groups of 12 people with barre au sol exercises, core stability training and control. The experimental groups performed barre au sol and core stability training for eight weeks. Kinesiophobia was evaluated by Tampa Scale and postural control by Y balance test and balance error scoring system.
Results: The results of this research showed that both barre au sol and core stability exercises groups had significantly less kinesiophobia, less error in balance error scoring system test and better performance in all three directions of the Y balance test than the control group in the post-test, but there was no significant difference between the two training groups (P>0.05). But no significant difference was seen in any of the research variables in the post-test between the two exercise groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed, both types of core stability and barre au sol exercises can be used to improve kinesiophobia, static and dynamic balance in women with non-specific chronic back pain.
